Cold Snap: The Frost Bite Series, Book 2

by Angela Sylvaine, Bridie Jurasevich (Narrator)

WORMS GONE WILD! It’s 1998, and the town of Demise, North Dakota, is recovering from the Meteor Murders, hundreds of deaths caused by alien worms but blamed on a mass poisoning by a doomsday cult. While nineteen-year-old Realene’s heroic actions saved the lives of many, she wants nothing more than to hide from the world and mourn the ones she couldn’t save. When a second half of the meteor is found north of the border where her best friend Nate is on a spring break trip, she’ll have to face her fears and venture into Canada to find him. The only thing standing in her way are rampant alien worms, a covert military op, and the cold snap of the century.

Reviews

[Cassondra Windwalker · Rating 5 out of 5]

Sequels can be dicey - it's often hard to match the tone and vigor of the first book while still allowing characters to grow and producing an equally engaging plot. I'm delighted to report COLD SNAP pulls this off beautifully. Well- maybe not beautifully. Bloodily? I admit some horrid dark little part of my soul was secretly disappointed by the dearth of prairie dog punting, but Sylvaine made up for it with a fantastic new cast of characters who join the originals and embark on a very northern spring break romp complete with new villains, bloodthirsty bison, and some true tinfoil heroes. If you enjoyed Frost Bite, you'll love Cold Snap.
